I wholeheartedly agree. Individual responsibility is, really, a crucial pillar of just about anything. Especially this question. The thing is though, even in an ideal society, it would be not reasonable to expect people to deal with someone's issues indefinitely Agree 100%. Now, in that somewhat narrow perspective, this seems unsolvable. If we accept that communication and collaboration is an essential part of nearly any engineering job then I don't know that many companies are going to be able to accommodate an engineer who can't do those things. That gets back to the fundamental distinction between "is able to do the job, but needs to be able to do it differently" versus "cannot do the job." Zooming out a bit, though, it's also true that in an ideal society we'd be able to use everybody's talents to their full potential. Getting to 100.0% of that is surely not achievable but getting as close to it as possible should be our "north star" if you'll forgive the cliched corpo-speak term. The author has proven himself (unless I am mistaken) to be a valuable and dedicated Python engineer, and creates code that helps others, and it really is a loss to society if those talents cannot be utilized.
